Who has proposed that? Not seen it anywhere.
Information came from an article in the Daily Telegraph a few days ago Same Telegraph article saying ECB vote will be on 20th October:
A ballot is still scheduled to take place on October 20 with a majority vote of 12 required for any change to go through. If so, not much time to organise a Members Forum. |

So Gidney and Co will go along with the ECB wonderful T he resolutions may have been defeated but they have achieved the club promising that"Once discussions with the ECB arrive at a final proposal on reform of the future domestic schedule, the Club will publish details of the proposal and the associated binding Member vote. This will be held via a Members’ Forum and its result will have the same effect as if it had been held via an SGM." AFAIK no other County is doing this....more a consultation. I gain the impression that the ECB like to keep the media informed ahead of the Counties. No mention at the SGM of any vote due on the 20th..

Copied from another forum - an update from Alan Higham from the County Cricket members Group.
It seems the ECB reform proposals will not be put to a vote. Instead, the county chairs are looking at what they do agree on to improve the current schedule/structure. The following questions are being asked.
County championship
Do you agree to play fewer games? Do you prefer either of the 3 divisions of 6 structure or prefer two divisions either 8 or 10 in the top division?
How many teams should be promoted/relegated? Which months to schedule matches for? Views on the points system changes? Views on poor pitch penalties
One Day Cup - Play it in April or August? Are fewer games acceptable? Should it be a pure knock-out?
T20 Blast
Which window to play it in? Blocks or alongside county championship Reduce number of games?
Hundred
Want to shorten window? What to play alongside it? Blast, "first class friendlies", CC or ODC? Should contracts reflect Blast performances?
Glamorgan went through their responses with their members this week. We have heard snippets from other counties on some of their responses. Both Surrey and Lancashire have told their members they supported shortening the Hundred's window. Somerset remain focused on resolving the whole picture that saw just 4 days play at Taunton out of 43 days in peak summer. They are unwilling to be drawn into giving a view on each component.
The Telegraph reports some form of compromise at 12 county championship games, 12 blast games and a reduced One Day Cup is being mulled over. Compromise for the sake of compromise perhaps, but also to address the PCA demand that too much cricket is expected from their members so more rest breaks are needed and slightly fewer days' cricket overall.
Within the campaign there are 10 active county member groups. We see this stalemate as an opportunity to make the case for a better schedule, keeping much of what we have already.
To keep 14 first class games across two divisions, the county championship simply has to be played in August.
The Hundred should adjust its schedule to allow more players to be released back to play in the county championship. A formal review of the Hundred needs to happen once the review into the ECB's finances is completed later this year.
We cannot stop the tide of global t20 franchise cricket. We must use any revenues we gain from it to invest and grow the first class game. We need to support our counties like never before.
Accordingly, we recommend that county members support playing the county championship in August when giving their feedback to their clubs along with amending the Hundred's scheduling and benching of players.

I've read that the ECB have confirmed that there will be no changes to the schedule for 2023 and that they will continue to consult with all stakeholders over the coming months.
I thought it had been agreed that any changes would introduced in the 2024 season so nothing new there but does that mean for eample the RLO still in August and not moved to the start of the season wth CC games moved to take their place?
